SIGGRAPH 2012 Hotel Registration Open

Go get your hotel reservation for SIGGRAPH 2012 now. Reservations can be cancelled with no cost up to July 19th, so if you think there’s the slightest chance you’ll go, grab a room now.

The HQ hotel and the Figueroa are already gone. The Ritz Milner is certainly cheap and pretty close, but some TripAdvisor reviews eventually scared me off. I then switched to the Luxe City Center (used to be a Holiday Inn), as I prefer being close to the convention center. But I recall complaints about things like the WIFI stinking at the old Holiday Inn, and the place is even pricier now. So I rebooked yet again into The Sheraton, as a pretty good compromise among the factors of cost, quality, and location – being more downtown can be good, as you’re closer to restaurants and other nighttime activities.
